This was the view as I drove home from work and proof that the spring is coming. The sunset is rapidly getting later in the evening now and while it is 830pm, I have only been home a touch over an hour. Long days.
I am singing my daughter to sleep at the moment, even though she asked me not to sing. She does that when she doesn't want to calm down but she will fall asleep quite quickly I think.
The last month has been the busiest so far for me, as traveling internationally takes what I consider precious time away from other things that have to be worked on also. There were 45+ hours of extra travel time in the last 4 weeks and work doesn't stop while comuting via planes, trains and automobiles.
@markkujantunen asked why his feed was lacking posts and I have to say, I don't know. I keep posting regardless of my schedules as it is something I enjoy. While it does take time and effort, it is nice to be able to get thoughts out on the fly and have a little fun along the way.
What people find amusing in life can vary a lot but, I am more the curious type so Steem has plenty on offer to play with for someone like me. I question why some people are here if they do not enjoy themselves and the answer is likely money for most. As I said in the morning post, many claim not to care about earnings but a lot of their content and comments centers around just that.
I care about earnings too but it is future value that is the important aspect for me and, that is because of what I want to do in my future. Having more resources means that I am able to work on more than I do now as I won't have to waste my time on daily tasks in the same way. For example, the reason I was so late at work was because I was doing my end of month hour and expense reporting, which is complicated due to the travel. It took almost 4 hours.
I will get faster at that as I learn to better know the systems but, it will always take a fair bit of time. Often times people look to improve where they are already proficient because it is more enjoyable but the biggest areas to save time address improving where one is not strong, that is paperwork for me. I have always hated it.
She is asleep now, the serenade can end.
This weekend I have a lot of things to do and as always, the days will be taken up with time spent with my daughter. I really enjoy the weekends with her and while we are together, I am as present as I can be.
I think I will leave her to dream and move to the laptop on the kitchen table to get writing for the night. I am not sure about what yet but I generally have several ideas knocking around at any one time that I process in spare moments. I find it amusing that people so often struggle with content topics when love is so full of interesting things to think about.
Tonight I think I may stay on the Steem topic a little though as at the moment, it is interesting for me and with so much changing and potential to come, it is worth thinking more upon.
Who knows, I could write a poem instead.
Or, maybe both.

It honestly takes a lot of effort to compose a good read. Despite the fact that I switched preference to poems for expression, it didn't make it any easier for me for instance
Finding the writing flow can take some time I think but what helps me is that I let streams of thoughts build as I write and don't worry too much about the composition. Each has their own way I guess though.
Just made some posts and comments on bitcointalk.org on the altcoin discussion board about Steem. I always laugh when she thinks our son is "special" because he never wants to go to bed. I just keep reminder her no kid that I know of ever wants to go to bed and usually if they do it's because they're getting sick.
I have never been on there but I probably should have a read sometimes.
Our daughter 'gets tired' when she doesn't want to eat :D She generally has a good appetite though - unfortunately from my side of the family.
You work so hard and I know it's hard on you and your family. It will happen one of these days and you will deserve every cent that comes your way.
Very good brother
It has been a busy day for me as well as I have been all over the place trying to catch up on my feed and still enjoy the days we have left on vacation while the work over at the office continue to pile on as well (my to do list is longer than I wish it to be for Monday)! I think some larger accounts are taking it a little easier these days but smaller ones are increasingly engaging based on what I see. The #tenkminnows initiative has certainly brought an influx of posts to consume!
Is it a season for kids refusing to go to bed or something? I'm on the other side of the world and lately bedtime has been epic battles because the youngest does absolutely everything in his power (desperately trying to start civil in depth conversations, endless questions, usually devolving into full on shouting matches) to avoid brushing his teeth and the follow up going to bed XD
Is your friend checking interesting tags for more contents? :D I should probably do that more often now that my feed has been a lot quieter but...usually I end up drawing x_x
Good luck with the paperwork and getting more efficient at it! I think there's only a handful of people that actually enjoys paperwork XD
Little daughter little daughter, how she love to see hee dad sing. His song made her sleep, your song made her calm
